GoPro is gaining more than 7% in post-market trading Thursday after it beat Wall Street expectations for the first-quarter.

The action-camera maker reported adjusted earnings of -$0.34 a share, beating the Wall Street estimate of -$0.36. Revenue came in at $202.3 million, topping the $182.2 million that was expected.

GoPro founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman gave investors an extra dose of optimism. He said sales of one of its main products, the HERO, should increase going forward.

"Initial demand for HERO is promising and we expect it to improve as large retail partners like Target and Walmart begin selling the product in the second quarter," Woodman said.

GoPro continued its dominance in the digital imaging business. It was the top-selling camera in the digital imaging category for the 17 straight quarter in North America, according to the earnings release.

GoPro is down this year 33.3%.
